old family photo's.....

Hi everyone!

Last week I made up two project life pocket pages using old family photo's.

I had a lot of fun making these.

The papers are all from Stampin' Up!

Most are from the This and That DSP collection, and some are from Etcetera DSP collection.

These two collections work quite well together.

I used dies to cut out many of the embellishments for the bits of papers left.
The circle card thinlit die from stampin' Up! had many little dies in this kit.
I used the heart, the xoxo, the star, the label, the chevrons.
I also used the Chalk Talk Framelit dies from Stampin' Up!
I used Spellbinders circle nestabilities dies, the classic scallop circle dies and the lacy ovals.
I used some of the dies in the My FavoriteThings Blueprint #4 die set,
and Memory Box Pippi Butterfly die.

The metal butterflies are from Recollections.
The stamps are Swallowtail (SU), Fresh Vintage (SU- retired), Cute by the inch (SU-retired)
 and Word Bubbles by Hero Arts.
I used versamark and white embossing powder,
and for ink pads - Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede from Stampin' Up!
I used various washi tapes from Stampin' Up!.
I used stickers from a retired Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking kit I had got.
Can't remember the name of it.
I also added some gold and silver sequins.
They really add lots of sparkle.

I love these pages.
I know it looks like I used lots of stuff to make these.
But, It was all stuff that I had on hand.
I didn't have premade 3x4 and 4x6 cards.
I just used leftover double sided scrapbooking paper.
This is a great way to use it up, so that it doesn't sit forever in your scrap bins.

I hope you like them.

Two cards to share....

Hi everyone,

At the beginning of the week I made two cards.

I decided to play around with my swallowtail butterfly stamp again.

I wanted a simple card.

The large print Designer Series Paper "Beyond the Garden" was the perfect match for my pink butterfly.

I used the ink "Raspberry Ripple" and the "Primrose Petal" cardstock.

The next card I made, used the stamp "Henry Says".

Card Stock: Whisper White, Midnight Muse

Ink: Midnight Muse, Basic Black

Designer Series Paper: Just Add Cake and Domestic Goddess

I hope you like my two simple cards.

Two swallowtail cards.....

I made two simple cards with my big Swallowtail stamp.

I really love this stamp.

It can be used for almost any occasion.

I would love to emboss this stamp.

But, I don't have the heat gun yet.

Hopefully I can get one soon.

I added a bit of color to my second card.

I was a bit worried about how it would turn out.

I traced the outline of some sections, and filled in others.

I'm happy with the outcome

I hope you like them.

Hugs
